Spiritual Hermaphroditism or Thinking with the Androgynous Soul

“Oedipus complex and spiritual intelligence: Are men less spiritual than women? Part I” examined Sigmund Freud’s Oedipus complex and Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex in the light of male spiritual intelligence. In it, we argued that men are likely to be less spiritually intelligent than women. We extrapolated the findings of the Pew Research Center 2016 Report which found that women were generally ― but not essentially or universally ― more religious than men. Part II argues that patriarchy and toxic masculinity, have made men less spiritually intelligent by canonising the alpha male. The result is that most men are unable to realise their full potential as created imago Dei or spiritual hermaphrodites. Disavowing patriarchalism enables them to embrace their androgyneity. Utilising the example of South African athlete, Caster Mokgadi Semenya, we argue that wherever we find ourselves on the continuum between the poles of male and female, even as inter-sex, we are all called to realise our spiritual hermaphroditism. In a nutshell, Part II is an invitation to think with the androgynous soul. Methodologically, we asked respondents to answer four questions on spiritual intelligence and gender fluidity. The theoretical framework chosen for both Part I and Part II was Sigmund Freud’s Oedipus complex, interpreted as a power drive in men to dethrone their father. We used online and offline surveys to generate the state of public opinion on the subject in academia. As purposive sampling, the number of returned questionnaires was inconsequential. Part II’s objective is to adumbrate a new theory of human sexuality called spiritual hermaphroditism, which would act as an antidote to toxic masculinity. Part II also required its own methodology, a literary-linguistic-syntactic analysis and hermeneutics of suspicion of Gen 1:26‒28 and 2:7, which was not dependent on informants’ views but addressed spiritual hermaphroditism.

Utilizing spiritual intelligence and workplace spirituality in creating collective awareness: the U-journey perspective.

Theory U is a process-driven, learning, progress-directed, transformative, and relational approach to social change. This approach is predicated on the idea that spirituality may be used to create communal consciousness through change management. Dealing with spiritual hurdles, practicing meditation, improving sensing, staying in flow, and conceiving are just a few of the special skills needed for success on the U-journey. Spiritual intelligence also includes adaptive problem solving and goal achievement approaches. Theory-U holds that sources other than the outmoded paradigms that gave rise to complex problems are where answers to them must come from. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how individuals exposed to workplace spirituality can make better use of their spiritual intelligence. By using spiritual intelligence, people can attain the kind of awareness and engagement required for collective awareness, and this makes sense when we examine awareness awakening processes from the perspective of the U-journey.

A Review: The Effect of Emotional Intelligence, Spiritual Intelligence, Love of Money and Ethical Sensitivity on Students’ Ethical Perceptions Regarding the Code of Ethics for the Accountant Profession

The present study analyzes the effect of emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, love of money, and ethical sensitivity on students’ ethical perceptions regarding the code of ethics of the accounting profession. This research uses a quantitative method with secondary data and employs the purposive sampling technique from a population of students who have taken auditing courses. The number of samples used in this research was 106 respondents. The obtained data was evaluated using a multiple linear regression analysis. This research’s findings indicate that emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, and ethical sensitivity positively influence students’ ethical perceptions regarding the accounting profession’s code of ethics. Conversely, having a love-for-money mindset has a negative impact on students’ moral understanding of the code of ethics in the accounting profession. The factors that influence the ethical perception of the code of ethics are emotional intelligence, intellectual intelligence, and love of money. Low levels of love of money tends to work less satisfactorily. Even the level of love of money also affects unethical behavior. Unethical behavior can be fortified with religious intelligence and fear of God Almighty.

Integrating Emotional Intelligence, Spiritual Intelligence, and Artificial Intelligence in Human Resource Management Practices in Business Organizations

Emotional Intelligence plays a crucial role in managing interpersonal relationships, communication, and conflict management, which are vital for effective leadership and teamwork. Spiritual Intelligence supports the search for meaning and purpose in work, fostering an organizational culture aligned with personal and collective values. On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence automates processes, provides data-driven analytics, and improves operational efficiency through advanced technology. Integrating these three forms of intelligence can create a more productive, innovative, and fulfilling work environment. This article reviews the fundamental theories of each type of intelligence and explains how their application in HRM practices can yield significant benefits for organizations.

Defining Relational Dimensions of Spiritual Influence for Management Research and Practice

In management research, the impact of spirituality and its positive influence on organizational outcomes has been studied from many aspects of management practice. The result has been a non-delineated, cross-sectional view of spiritual guidance in creating healthy individual and business outcomes. Unfortunately, the limited focus on spiritual well-being has not encouraged research that considers the full range of outcomes from various dimensions of spirituality. Such focus has not considered the influence of adverse spiritual intent or made distinctions between divine and human forms of spirituality that create uncertainty and lack of trust in spiritual and religious guidance. Considering these limitations, this conceptual research shares a dimensionality of spiritual discernment derived from the current literature on spirituality in management and discusses the limitations of each within the context of developing spiritual capital and spiritual intelligence. This paper presents both divine and human relationships in framing this model and suggests the need to better understand the bounded nature of spirituality under dark or human influence. The outcome from this work is the development of a Relational Models Theory of Spirituality (RMTS) framework to guide management research in creating an ontological perspective around the nature and intent of spiritual relationships and to encourage seeking third-person spirituality as an unbiased, higher form of Spiritual guidance.

Predicting Distress Tolerance in the Elderly Based on Experiential Avoidance and Spiritual Intelligence

Vulnerability and Death as Markers of Spiritual Intelligence

In this paper I argue that recent reports of AI, and the reactions of people working in AI, together with the possibility of a panpsychist model of intelligence or mentality, make it very difficult to know convincingly what is going on inside AI, and whether or not it has, or might have, subjectivity, inwardness, intelligence, and agency. This problem mirrors, but is different from, the comparison between humans and animals. I argue that spiritual intelligence must assume, at the least, the presence of this inwardness, even though we only have suspicions but no real proof for machines or for ourselves, and also that our understanding of imago Dei is relevant. I compare this conversation with that around animals and end by examining the contribution of vulnerability and death in relational and functional understandings of imago Dei. I argue that these are essential components in the human development and expression of spiritual intelligence, and how this is so very different from anything made by artificial means, which is always functionally immortal.

Spiritual Intelligence and the Nous: Implications for Understanding the Relationship Between the Faith Traditions of the World

The modern concept of spiritual intelligence exhibits parallels with the ancient Greek philosophical understanding of the nous. This ancient understanding was used extensively in late antique and early medieval theological thinking and is still influential in some faith traditions. However, the implications of this understanding for exploring questions about religious pluralism have not been widely acknowledged. These implications arise from the way in which the noetic perception that arises from the full functioning of the nous is seen as essentially intuitive in nature, so that the relationship between this perception and religious doctrinal statements may be understood in terms of a radically apophatic understanding of religious language usage. Vladimir Lossky has proposed this stance as characteristic of Eastern patristic perspectives. In relation to this understanding, parallels with the perennialist tradition are evident and—even though this tradition in its classic form exhibits major flaws that need to be corrected—its pluralism becomes highly suggestive. This suggestiveness is reinforced by a number of other considerations, not least the recent “theological turn” in discussion of divine action within the science-theology dialogue, which permits an essentially “naturalistic” understanding of revelatory experiences. There may, nevertheless, be reasons for adopting “reciprocal inclusivism” rather than a full-blown pluralism of this kind.

Pengaruh Puja Bakti Terhadap Kecerdasan Spiritual Siswa Agama Buddha

This article covers aspects of prayer in the development of spiritual intelligence. The study aims to investigate the impact of the practice of puja bakti on the spiritual intelligence of Buddhist students at Bhakti Karya Kaloran High School. The study involved research subjects such as Buddhist religious students at Bakti Karya Kaloran High School in 2023 who were selected as samples of research. The research method used is a quantitative method with a correlational approach. The correlation value between the variable puja bakti to spiritual intelligence is 0.712. This value can be predicted that the relationship of the two variables tested is in the strong category. The results of the study showed a significant correlational relationship between the performance of bakti puja and the spiritual intelligence of students with evidence of a significance value of 0.003 < 0.05 and a t-count value of 6.251 > t-table 2,021, also contributing 49.6%. The recommendation from this study is to implement morning prayer routine and targeted in the school environment to enhance the spiritual intelligence of students.

MERGING MINDS AND SOULS: EXPLORING INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN INTELLIGENCE AND PERSONALITY WITHIN THE ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL FRAMEWORK

Intelligence and personality are gifts from Allah that share both similarities and differences, viewed from the perspective of Islamic Education Psychology. This research aims to explore the distinctions between the two. It is a systematic review conducted with a qualitative approach, drawing materials from various sources such as books, theses, journals, and reputable electronic resources. The findings reveal that there are commonalities and disparities between intelligence and personality according to Islamic Education Psychology. The similarities can be observed in the fundamental meanings of both terms and the aspects associated with them. In terms of their definitions, both have the root word 'aqal', which means acquiring knowledge for intelligence, while for personality, it serves as the foundation for behavior. As for their aspects, the difference lies in the fact that intellectual intelligence is utilized to develop one's intellect, while in personality, intellectuality determines behavioral patterns. Spiritual intelligence is employed to cultivate norms or values within oneself, whereas personality encompasses a person's inclination towards specific norms or values.
